I keep my Podengo on a leash, especially in open areas. They're curious and can wander off quickly.

I rarely trust my Podengo off leash.

My Podengo is pretty adventurous and loves to explore. I've found he has a strong hunting instinct, so I only let him roam in secure areas. It gives me peace of mind knowing he won’t run off.

Trusting my Podengo off leash has been a journey. When I first adopted him, I thought he'd be fine off leash, but his instinct to chase small animals has made me more cautious. We’ve worked a lot on recall, and I’m more comfortable now, especially in fenced parks where he can enjoy some freedom. It's important to gradually build that trust.
